### Summary
The narrative deepens its shift into emotionally charged drama, focusing on the bitter and complex history between Yoo Jung and Inho Baek. The central conflict erupts over the Baek siblings' long-standing financial dependency on Jung's family, which a weary Jung is no longer willing to sustain. This tension is amplified by reader perceptions of Inho and his sister, Inha, as "shameless" and "ungrateful," with Inho's arrogance and past grievances—including a hand injury he seems to blame on Jung—fueling the confrontation. While Inho is seen as a "bum" trying to victimize himself, Jung's typically manipulative facade gives way to a "sulky" and "pouty" vulnerability that readers find compelling. Caught in the middle, Hong Seol's own actions are questioned as hypocritical, though her confusion is deemed understandable given Jung's ambiguous "hot & cold" behavior. A significant source of frustration is the recurring dynamic where other characters talk over her, diminishing her agency within this increasingly dramatic and messy interpersonal conflict.
